In light of the new information we have, I'd like to reconvene with whoever else would feel safe doing so. This evening at the same time and same place. Word games are banned.
If you cannot restrain yourself from malice, do not come. You know who you are.
[and here they are again, with their number made smaller by those that are departed on the exchange. really, that's why Helena called it now instead of later - there were a few names she recalled off the list for trips that would probably do better to skip this, to have things left well enough alone for them. as before, she's seated at the front, next to the whiteboard which retains the previous meeting's notes regarding the corpses, their conditions, all the rest. however, the corpse list has been updated.
Elizabeth / Minato Arisato - Lucifer
Rika Kawai / Shuichi Saihara - Dito
Akira Kijima / Akira Kurusu - ???
Unknown A - Lucifer
Unknown B - Lucifer
Unknown C - Lucifer
R. Ryuzaki - Joshua Kiryu
her ankle is wrapped tightly with bandages, and her cane is in her lap. the hangman board is entirely absent.
perhaps it's sheer foolishness that means she'll do this again, when last time ended so poorly. but there are some things they very much need to discuss - and the best time is sooner rather than later.]

[but still, it doesn't make sense. why clean up before running away?]
I don't think this person enjoyed the experience at all - they could have simply slit throats. Why leave them to bleed out? Why something so inexact?
no subject
( natsume's possession and clamor's possession were entirely different situations, too. )
no subject
[Nice looks back up at the board again, considering.]
Who all has access to wisteria leaves here? What happened the last time someone was possessed?
[he's got to know everything before he even begins to theorize anything....]
no subject
( nene doesn't think to even consider her own innocence- she's been with noah constantly, anyone's seen it in the brief time everything's happened. but she thinks back on the past few months, speaking slowly but deliberately as she tries to recall everything. )
Possession... There's been a couple cases. The first time... no one witnessed it, but I trust his account. He was overwhelmed with the spirit's feelings- fear and paranoia that they were going to die, that the people around them were going to kill him. And in that instant, he struck first to protect himself despite there not really being any danger. It faded quickly, but the damage was done.
I think that in tail-end of July was another incident, a robot named Legion went berserk. But I'm afraid I don't know what happened then.
And... Then, last month. One of our own had his body stolen, and for a month the spirit masqueraded as him until he tried to move to another body. I think that whatever happened with him was different circumstances entirely though. We've also seen instances where reanimated corpses are aware but in a more feral state- Maddison was capable of talking, but all she wanted to do was kill her targets before they got her first.
no subject
but. there's another theory.]
Nobody's said anything about having their jars stolen either, right? I mean, they might not have wanted to say anything because they'd be a suspect, but the people who have the jars might not have been the culprit themselves.
[so it doesn't completely narrow it down like he would like, but. oh well.]
I probably wouldn't just outright ask them that kinda thing because they might try to run with it and make it an excuse if they actually did something, but that's also an option.
[the possession stuff is interesting, and the information he tucks into the back of his mind. he's learning about this place as well as what happened in this exact instance, so until that becomes more relevant he's not going to comment on it.]
Where's the shopkeeper?
no subject
[just putting this out there. everyone be nice to npc-kun as they are now a dormmate.]
no subject
So someone with the wisteria...and someone that probably didn't like what they did.
[he's talking to himself more than her for a moment.]
Did they have anyone they didn't get along with?
no subject
( but hey this is now confirmed to be on the network, so at some point nene will check that out to see if there's any more assholes making games of their friends' deaths or admitting to murder or something.
there isn't, but there is this- )
Ah! Hey, there's something- a list of people who bought a wisteria jar lately.
no subject
if that's okto see the text. since he's still new, there are some of the names that don't ring any bells...but hey, that's what Helena and Nene are for, right?]I've met Ishimaru and Ebalon, but the rest I don't know...
[he ponders for a moment. neither one of them seemed like the murdering type but if his profile is correct...]
What about the other names? Anyone on there that would get possessed or whatever and regret it?
no subject
[she has no idea who's on the list unless Nene reads it aloud, though.]
no subject
here's ur jar kid
Noah disappears for a second and comes back with his unbroken jar from his room, although anyone who wants to is free to follow him in case he's suspicious somehow.]
When I first got it, I didn't realise it was... souls? S-so I just... I put it on my shelf and left it there for months. You can ask Senku about it. I was too scared to touch it... I feel bad.
no subject
And there's no way you'd be able to refill it after using it, right?
[he's just making sure, since he's still trying to figure out how this world works]
no subject
[Pauses, then,]
I guess, logically speaking, you could set the jar under the tree and wait for petals to fall into it? But someone would inevitably see that, right?
[Plus, he has the Senku alibi too. Also the alibi of anxiety about souls in a jar.]
no subject
[he's still trying to figure out how all that works too, considering he's noticed that some of the other students can use theirs but he obviously can't use his.]
no subject
[With a polite bow, Ishimaru excuses himself on the meeting. And he comes back from his room a few minutes late with his own wisteria jar, which appears to be unopened.]
This is the jar that I have acquired. It has not been opened!
no subject
Nice hums as he examines the wisteria jar, scratching at his cheek. this really was going to be a pain in the ass, wasn't it?]
So what're we gonna do if all the jars haven't been opened?
[just a question.]
no subject
...I am not sure. It may mark an end for this potential lead, unless there is some other way of obtaining wisteria leaves that we are unaware of. We could continue to question ourselves further, though as Noah-kun stated, refilling the jar would be much easier said than done.
no subject
[and he hates wasting his time...]
But it's not like anyone's going to hop up and yell "Hey I'm the murderer!!" or something like that, so...how do I know you didn't do it?
[that took a turn suddenly]
no subject
[He looks shocked as the accusation is thrust upon him.]
Well... there's the fact that my jar is unopened, and that I refuse to partake in murder! Aside from that, I am not sure how to definitively prove my innocence. I do not even know all of the details of those particular deaths!
no subject
[she taps the top of her cane to her chin thoughtfully.]
There were glass shards in that room, as well as the petals. Someone cleaned up afterwards, but didn't think we'd check the trash. Filled or not, the container is just as important.
no subject
[hmmmmmmm]
I guess the shopkeeper didn't report any thefts or anything, or shortages of the jars? The fact that he might be helping the killer isn't something we should rule out, either.
